9 months.

this is a tad bit over due.

but little girl is 9 months old

(as of 10/13).

yes you heard right. 9 months!

she's crawling & picking up food then eating it herself 

& giggling all the time like a mad-woman 

& and getting into everything.

and i absolutely adore her. 

i tell her daily that i want to eat her cheeks for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

and sometimes for a snack. 

oh my sweet girl. <3

8 months.

well hey there little lady! 

can you believe you are already 8 months old today?

mommy sure can't believe it.

you are a wiggly worm most of the time.

you are totally on the verge of full blown 

crawling any day now! you push yourself up on your knees

 and move around as best you can

or you roll to your destination.

you love using your hands: 

throwing things, slapping people, grabbing everything.

you also love to eat food! 

especially peas & rice, apples & turkey, 

and green bean anything!

you are starting to fill out some of your 9 month clothing,

although you still wear a lot of 6 month stuff.

your giggle is the most beautiful sound on earth.

you love standing and trying to cruise by yourself around the coffee table.

you smile super BIG when daddy comes home from work.

Zeze lately.

likes: eating solids, playing with her toys, tummy time (can you believe it?), rolling around, sleeping, taking walks, meeting new people, cruising around the coffee table, walking with the help of daddy or mommy, snuggles.

dislikes: being overtired, poopy, hungry, and eating plain rice cereal. 

nicknames: munch. baby boo moo. snuggle bum. cheeker's. chip. peanut. 

we love you Azaria!

7 months.

Azaria is 7 months old today!

7 months! crazy!

little girl sits up like a champ.

but still has her sudden face plant moments 

(ie. looses balance).

she's eating all sorts of yummy foods

 (like spinach, pear, green beans, etc)

she loves to laugh and giggle 

especially when she sees daddy's silly faces.

she loves being outside!

and she loves meeting new people.

she will grab anything she can and has a firm grip.

in fact she loves to pull mommy's hair and not let go.

she still has wild peach fuzz hair.

nom nom nom.

little girl also loves to stand up

 (with something to hold on for support).

Zeze lately. 

loves: playing, being outside, sitting up, standing up, eating solids, playing in grass/sand, taking a morning jog, attempting to walk with daddy, sleeping, snuggling, being lifted in the air or leaning her backwards, squirming like a worm while drinking her milk, being cute.

dislikes: her sippy cup, not being able to reach something she wants (and as she is still limited in mobility so it is hilarious watching her attempt to wiggle where she is trying to go), being woken up too early from a nap. 

nicknames: pea-knuckle, knuckle-pean, reepicheep, bambini, bambino, baby love, lil snuggler.

here she is saying, "i'm tired of posing for pictures mom!"
